AWS Audit Manager continuously collects evidence from AWS services such as AWS CloudTrail, AWS Config, AWS Security Hub, AWS License Manager, and other integrated services to help organizations evaluate whether policies, procedures, and operational controls are functioning effectively. The service supports prebuilt compliance frameworks, custom control frameworks, automated evidence gathering, assessment reporting, stakeholder collaboration, and centralized audit governance workflows.
Through DBS, organizations can design, implement, optimize, secure, and govern AWS Audit Manager environments that support scalable, resilient, and enterprise-grade compliance governance and cloud audit management architectures across Bahrain, the GCC, and the wider Middle East region.
